Page 5 of 18 Scope and Project Initiation Once management’s support is solidified, a business continuity coordinator needs to be identified. This person needs to have direct access to management and have the credibility and authority to carry out leadership tasks. Representatives from each department must be involved with not only the planning stages but also the testing and implementation stages. The committee should be made up of representatives from at least the following departments: - Business units
- Senior management
- IT department
- Security department
- Communications department
- Legal department
The people who develop the BCP should also be the ones who execute it. If you knew that in a time of crisis you would be expected to carry out some critical tasks, you might pay more attention in the planning and testing phases. Management needs to help direct the team on the scope of the project and the specific objectives. Most companies outline the scope of their BCP to encompass only the larger threats; the smaller threats are then covered by independent departmental contingency plans. Once the project plan is completed, it should be presented to management for written approval before any further steps are taken. It is important that there are no assumptions in the plan and the coordinator obtains permission to use the necessary resources to move forward.
